Code of the Mountains
Michael Hurley
Blue Navigator Album
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of:D
Transcribed by: Verne Garrison

     D                      G                D
I am going among the stars, up in the western hills
                          E      A
Where wolves are howling in the bars,
       G                  D
And the black owl never kills
                     A              D
And the code of the mountain is the law

Jocko the hobo, and an old buddy T Boone,
They were drinking at the honky tonk
They started about noon
Where the code of the mountain is the law

So many times, said Boone, I died; but came back to life
To drink black ale and wag my tail
And to stick Jocko with my knife
Where the code of the mountain is the law

They heard a flapping noise at the door
And the Wolverine, walked in
With a long black cloak, swept the floor
And a machine gun under his chin
Where the code of the mountains is the law

He says, I did not come to kill you all
I only want these two fools
If you'll kindly get up against the wall
Old Zeeker is going to be dying soon
Where the code of the mountains is the law

Before you shoot me, Mr. Wolverine,
Will you have a pull of my wine?
I made this up on blueberry hill
In the sweet of summer-time
Where the code of the mountains is the law

Indeed I will says the old Wolverine,
I'll have a pull of that wine
Then a smile reached all across his teeth
And his eyes began to shine
Where the code of the mountains is the  law

Great God from Louisiana says the Wolverine
I believe I have seen the light
All the time I thought Boone was wrong
Now I think he's been right
Where the code of the mountains is law

Well Hell, he says to Jocko the Hobo,
And called for another round
This Wolverine came to kill you Boone,
But you turned his head around
Where the code of the mountains is the law

Now that's a good idea said the Wolverine
I'll have another pull  on that wine
Oh no, no, no, said Boone
You are no friend of mine
Where the code of the mountains is law

Can't make out the last verse
